There's so much going on right now, Natural Disasters (Earthquakes in Indonesia & Tsunami in Samoa), Olympic Fever (Pres Obama plugging Chicago), and The Vikings hosting the Packers on Monday night.
With all the choices, I didn't know what to post about. Guess that makes me Wee Wee'd Up!
But then I heard that today marks the 60th anniversary of the Peoples Republic of China. And my mind was made up. Afterall who doesn't like a good birthday bash?
(Every party has a pooper)
As a kid all I knew about China was that if I dug down deep enough I'd eventually get there. I didn't know a thing about communism or their way of life. Every once in a while I'd get my hands on a fortune cookie, or hear on the news that McDonalds opened a sore there and I'd think, "cool."
I'm not sure if kids today have any greater grasp on things than I did, but I bet they at lest know that China is where their toys come from.
If the 2008 Beijing Olympics taught us anything, it's that China knows how to throw a party. Here's a slideshow of their big birthday bash!
Is this something to celebrate, or should we spit on the candles when we help blow them out? What do you think?
